Milwaukee Lower Guard Kit
Model Number: 25-41-0000
The Milwaukee 25-41-0000 is a genuine OEM Lower Guard Kit for the 3026-20 M18 FUEL 10-1/4 in. Circular Saw. The lower guard is the spring-loaded guard that pivots back to expose the blade as the saw enters the cut and automatically returns to cover the blade when the cut is finished; it is a critical safety component, and Milwaukee's operating instructions require that it never be removed, pinned back, or bypassed. This kit supplies the complete lower guard along with the hardware that makes it retract and return, so a guard that is cracked, bent, sluggish, or no longer closing over the blade can be rebuilt as a unit rather than chased part by part. A lower guard that does not return to cover the blade is a safety hazard and must be replaced immediately. Fitting the genuine Milwaukee OEM kit restores correct guard geometry and reliable automatic return, where an off-spec guard may bind, hang open, or fail to seat.
This lower guard kit is identified as the Lower Guard Kit, Figure 96, on the current revised Milwaukee service parts list for the 3026-20 M18 FUEL 10-1/4 in. Circular Saw, serial R48A, bulletin PN0008141 (August 2026 revision). As a kit it bundles the lower guard with its return hardware: the lower guard, the lower guard lever (28-41-0000), the bugle return spring (40-50-7753), the sleeve ring (42-38-0028), the retaining ring (34-60-0860), and the mounting screw (06-82-5314). It works with the saw's upper guard assembly (26-41-0000) and shoe assembly (26-06-0000), which are separate items. Because Milwaukee specifies service parts by serial number as well as catalog number, and this saw has a current revised bulletin, verify your catalog and serial number against the official Milwaukee service parts diagram before ordering, since running production changes can alter part compatibility within the same catalog number.
